Pre-trip planning and organizing and packing. It's really happening.
All my organizational tendencies are in full swing - the route mapped out, 'reservations' made with friends and family along the way. It's a strange feeling to be filling out change of address forms for an apartment I've never actually seen yet. Talk about going to "a land that I will show you!"
I have lists, spreadsheets, reminders, maps and guidebooks. Timing is crucial, scheduling get-togethers with family and friends in between weeding out what we're really taking with us and what needs to go, and then packing it. I'm grateful that we'll have help getting things down the stairs into the pods - my new progressive lenses make it challenging to get down the stairs in a vertical position - let alone carrying anything.
I'm planning on doing a photo journal of this adventure, and I want to get some good pictures of our 'starting zone' before we head out. Our Lil' BC stunt double (tm) will be featured prominently in many of the photos (for those who don't know, Lil' BC is the mascot of our guild the Browncoats in World of Warcraft.) I'm making yet another list now of the places I don't want to miss.
